Hi I ran sensors and it says: no sensors detected sensors -s still says the same even after the modprobe its suggests. What are we doing wrong? thanks, Steve. On Saturday 25 May 2002 15:47, you wrote:

# Ha anyone managed to get the cpu temperature readout to work with gkrellm # under 8.0? Or any alternative? # Thanks, Steve.

Works for me. I ran "sensors" in a konsole to know which temp and fan were giving true numbers.

I then right clicked on gkrellm for configuration. Choosing Builtins>>Sensors (on the left), I labelled temp2 and fan2 with "mb"

Choosing Builtins>>CPU, I enabled CPU and "Draw fan and temperature values separately", clicked "Apply" and they showed in gkrellm display.

Cool (joke)! I have been following this thread from a distance, have tried the various suggestions, could not get any temp sensor to display any information (I have an MSI K7T PRO2A MB), but this did the trick: via686a-isa-6000 Adapter: ISA adapter Algorithm: ISA algorithm CPU core: +1.68 V (min = +1.79 V, max = +2.18 V) ALARM +2.5V: +0.25 V (min = +2.24 V, max = +2.74 V) ALARM I/O: +3.28 V (min = +3.03 V, max = +3.36 V) +5V: +4.84 V (min = +4.60 V, max = +5.07 V) +12V: +11.80 V (min = +11.03 V, max = +12.16 V) CPU Fan: 5769 RPM (min = 7500 RPM, div = 2) ALARM P/S Fan: 0 RPM (min = 7670 RPM, div = 2) SYS Temp: +43.3°C (limit = +60°C, hysteresis = +50°C) CPU Temp: +37.7°C (limit = +60°C, hysteresis = +50°C) SBr Temp: +26.4°C (limit = +60°C, hysteresis = +50°C) You've made another SuSE user happy...

Actually, you have just begun. You need to look at /etc/sensors.conf with its extensive comments to adjust the calculations for these 3 items.

I use gkrellm where the adjustments to get correct readings much easier.

Sure thing, sensors and gkrellm. Tinker with it like the man says, and you can customise the labels and many other parameters. Just to be sure, find an excuse to reboot, so you can check directly the BIOS temperature readings. Did that after a heavy season ,like recompiling a kernel or Mozilla. Once done, you can finetune the readouts in gkrellm.

Hi. Well done. Still nothing here. The sensors documentation is good so I do: sensors-detect and the script modprobes stuff and tells me to include a line in /etc/modules.conf I reinit and run sensors but still get no sensors detected. Maybe my processor/motherboard doesn't have sensors? It's a PIV anout 4 weeks old. Any ideas anyone? Thanks for your patience, Steve.

Steve, Did you remember to run /sbin/SuSEconfig after the probe and edit ? See me previous post on this: http://www.netsys.com/suse-linux-e/2002/04/msg01577.html try it again. Laters. -- Kemdi IN_SuSE_d Since 5.2 123792 of counter.li.org ICQ:112290572
